NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 355: I Often Feel Out of Place in This World_2
Meng Yu smiled as he spoke,
"Golden Core Master, going to a remote place to establish a sect is completely feasible. As for why Yuan Ziyu can leave in three months while it takes her three years, the answer is simple. Yuan Ziyu has made meritorious deeds in reality, while she... is now on the virtual Ascension List."
"My lord, do you want to send me away?"
Unexpectedly, Lan Qiong hesitated for a moment, then lightly clapped her hands, opening the protective formation of the wine shop and sauntered over to Meng Yu, her eyes brimming with tears, showing a face of reluctance.
Ah, Meng Yu hesitated for a moment.
However, if one thinks about it, it made sense.
For most cultivators, the dream is to achieve the Golden Pill of Achievement, but is it truly safe?
Top hunters prefer big game; those Golden Cores without powerful protection are delectable treats. Bai Qianqian fled to the Western Wastes to establish a sect and used the Long River Nine Bends Array to protect herself precisely because a lone Golden Core is not safe.
Looking at Yuan Ziyu's escape, if it weren't for her continuous good luck and running into Meng Yu, it's uncertain what could have happened to her by now. And Lan Qiong, accustomed to the serene life of a major sect, now finds the idea of leaving Meng Yu unsettling.
Leaving the northwest, where could she go to start over, constantly fearing that someone might end her life suddenly?
"My lord, I beg you, I'm very obedient. I will do anything for you."
Lan Qiong prostrated in front of Meng Yu, her heavenly beautiful face pressed against the ground, her slender waist like a delicate willow, and her peach-like voluptuous curves fully displayed.
Unlike the fantasists from Eternal Night Palace, Lan Qiong knew that Meng Yu was actually a very cold-hearted fellow. Leaving eight beauties as Golden Cores unseen for two years, she didn't get a chance to see Meng Yu in Sleepless City.
Is this okay?
This is the true ruthlessness; if he were to give the order, it would be merciless.
"My lord, you can... play however you want."
Her voice trembled, somewhat saddened, somewhat shy.
Suddenly, Meng Yu's throat felt dry.
"My lord..."
Golden Core Master called his name in a seductive yet humiliated tone, showing a reluctant disposition, but that added even more to the allure.
Moreover, nothing would go wrong in this virtual world.
...
Why delay in spring? A foreign beauty stands by the wine shop. Ribbons fluttering in the spring breeze, red robes reflecting the morning glow.
The wine shop reopened, Meng Yu sat there tasting wine while Lan Qiong looked at him somewhat resentfully.
Although as a Golden Core she was ready to be bitten like a dog, she didn't anticipate that Meng Yu would be such a gentleman...
Alright, Meng Yu held back and did not go further in wrongdoing. What can one say, Lan Qiong spoke too quickly.
My lord, I can commit suicide afterward.
Alright... she committed suicide, then her body returned to its original state and she re-entered, escaping humiliation. Meng Yu didn't have to shoulder any responsibility or worry about being discovered by anyone. This kind of thinking left Meng Yu somewhat astonished, feeling suddenly he might not understand the pervasive thinking of the Cultivation World due to his own lack of perversion.
Meng Yu also felt like, since Mirror Twelve was fighting on the frontline, he had to maintain a certain level of decorum.
One cannot have frontline warriors fighting while he freely fires from the back, and then be required to give orders to frontline Golden Cores, saying, "I've achieved results with my firepower, seal the deal..." That would be devilish.
Nonetheless, he had to wait until the grand plan settled, until the cat was caged, so to speak.
In the following days, Meng Yu met again with the Golden Cores of the Eternal Night Palace.
The persuasion work proceeded well; evidently, the returns from the Teleportation Array and previous foolhardy captive policies were evident.
When one surrenders, it isn't just about one person, it involves their entire family and many affiliates who also require arrangements. What if the receiving party doesn't adhere to the rules?
But this time, seeing how Meng Yu handled the Sky-splitting Sword Sect made everyone feel at ease.
By Azure Star's standards, Meng Yu was far too cruel. According to Immortal Sect's standards, he was a bit excessive, but by Eternal Night Palace's standards, Meng Yu was the detail of a benevolent sweet man!
The visiting Golden Cores chatted with Lan Qiong, casting strange glances at Meng Yu.
Even the Twilight Sage mentioned, "I too can negotiate."
At last, Elder Mu had quietly taken a long detour to find Meng Yu.
"This time, our people were at fault. I am willing to apologize and can agree to any terms as long as it ensures the preservation of the Eternal Night Palace and the integrity of the Mountain Gate Formation."
This matter even made Meng Yu deeply realize his own reputation, hmm, and that includes the good reputation of Bai Qianqian. A man who has married Bai Qianqian should be a man of peace, right?
"No."
That was Meng Yu's response.
Meng Yu had never thought about deceiving others in such matters. A person could privately commit all kinds of evil, but promises made in formal occasions must be kept; the Luoshui Alliance, which tore up agreements as soon as they were made, was not worth it.
"The entirety of the Eternal Night Palace can surrender, but the Eternal Night Palace itself cannot be preserved. If you are willing to surrender, I assure your personal safety and cultivation, and will send you out of the northwest, including your clan members except for those who really have committed extremely heinous crimes. They may also leave.
Make your decision quickly, as the treatment for surrender after defeat is very different from that for immediate surrender.
The last time the Sky-splitting Sword Sect fought against us with fifty Golden Core cultivators, if I hadn't asked to spare the women in advance, out of fifty people only two or three would have survived.
I am a merciful person, but Uncle Twelve and those brothers and sisters show no mercy when they strike. Once a total attack begins, it will be a tragedy of total devastation."
Meng Yu replied calmly.
...
Blood God Sect, Ceres.
Xia Hailu sighed, and then sighed again.
Many people, when they are around you daily, you don't see them as impressive or amazing, and you might even think they are just that, just that. But once they leave, you suddenly realize you truly can't do without that person.
Let me clarify, this isn't about some divorce or emotional issues, it's just that bastard Meng Yu running off, and how Xia Hailu felt afterward.
Qingfeng Star is even farther than Supreme Star; to transmit a message as quickly as possible usually takes four to five days to reach Ceres. And the Immortal Sect deliberately or unintentionally blocked messages from Meng Yu to the Blood God Sect.
Divinity Transformation opportunity, ah!
Meng Yu, do you realize that I, Xia Hailu, also have the heart to achieve a Nascent Soul?
After finishing sighing, she began patrolling the neighborhood.
The last time Meng Yu left Ceres, he talked with Xia Hailu, asking whether if part of this neighborhood were shut down, someone might brazenly break through my protective formation to steal, rob, etc.?
Absolutely not, even if you don't come back for a hundred years, I will ensure the safety here.
Okay, Meng Yu was a bit excited at the time and said you bastard don't jinx it!
It has been over a month since Meng Yu went to the Immortal Sect. Xia Hailu patrolled the surroundings every day, given much authority from above but also asked not to make any blunders.
Flying on her sword, after several rounds of patrol and confirming there were no issues, her eyes suddenly froze.
In a clump of flowers and trees, someone waved at her; it was Hua Miaochai, a flower demon, and one of Meng Yu's closest Golden Core cultivators. Often, if she showed up, Meng Yu was also there.
Her heart rejoiced as she hurried down, and the grand formation of the cave mansion unfolded, Xia Hailu saw Meng Yu.
Just then, she had received communication that Meng Yu was still at Immortal Sect, but in the blink of an eye, Meng Yu was already back on Ceres!
"Are you alright?"
She suddenly felt a bit anxious.
In the past, she looked forward to Meng Yu mainly because of things like Spirit Stones, but now, since Mirror Twelve achieved Divinity Transformation, she suddenly found herself wanting something.
"Fine, fine. I've just come to pay everyone back but let me rest for a bit. Teleporting from the Immortal Sect took too much energy."
"Do you need it kept a secret?"
"No need. I've come back this time also for some matters that require your help."
Meng Yu said with a smile.
Because time relativity is one to a hundred, he had stayed over a month in the Cultivation World but over here, it would only feel as though, in an instant, he teleported from the Immortal Sect to the Blood God Sect without a month's cooling period, betting that the Blood God Sect wouldn't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
Nothing is more heart-stirring than a person teleporting from a planet hundreds of light-years away to another planet!
